ZIP Code 98387

ZIP code 98387, near Tacoma, sits in middle-to-upper-income territory, with a median household income of $106,872 and per-capita income of $40,831. Homes here carry a median value of $461,000, and the county-level effective property tax rate of 0.91% means owners pay a comparatively gentle share of that value each year. Sales taxes are another matter: the combined rate of 9.60% adds noticeably to everyday purchases. Households earning six figures can absorb that cost, though the gap between area wages and per-capita earnings hints at a mix of larger and smaller households across the ZIP.
